This was the second break-in in four months at 615 3rd St. The steel door and security cameras were installed in response to the first burglary back in June.

Then, the crook got away with more than $2,000, Gatto said.

This time around the burglar was dressed in tight-fitting clothing from the waist up. It was paired with khaki shorts, with what might be a cellphone clipped to his waist. A mask covered most of his face and he's wearing gloves.

He appears to be a young white male under 6 feet tall. He has a tattoo on his right wrist.

Why do we know all of this?

Because as he attempted to crouch low and shine his flashlight into the camera lens to avoid being seen, the flashlight strays away as he gets something to stand on, and again when he gets up to disable the camera.

Gatto was excited to have a close-up of the man's face and a peek at his wrist tattoo to show police.

He's offering a $1,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest and is asking people with information to contact Crime Stoppers at 223-1400.

In the meantime, Gatto said he's going to install a security alarm.
